Northern Light Acadia Hospital is more than a hospital; we are a hub for behavioral and mental health services and expertise throughout Maine. Northern Light Acadia Hospital is a non-profit acute care hospital and community mental health agency located in Bangor, Maine. Acadia Hospital is committed to providing a safe and positive environment for children, adolescents and adults with mental health and chemical dependency problems and to advocating for their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. The care we provide to our patients is rooted in compassion and respect. A 100-bed, acute care, short-stay psychiatric hospital, we provide a full continuum of mental and behavioral health services for children, teens, and adults. Our interdisciplinary care teams work closely together to wrap our patients with the comprehensive care they deserve. We meet patients where they are whether in our offices or virtually from the comfort of their home through tele-health; Acadia makes patient access easy. Acadia Hospital's services reach deep into our communities through many specialized programs including our Behavioral Health Home, Opioid Health Home, military veteran programming, Integrated Behavioral Health in primary care practices, and school-based clinician services.

The Location:

Bangor has a lot to offer. Its historic downtown is full of shops, boutiques, and restaurants. The restored Bangor waterfront has been transformed into a major regional event center offering popular outdoor throughout the summer and fall. In winter we have ski resorts and snowmobile trails just a short drive out of the city. The city’s rich lumber history can be enjoyed on almost every street. The industry allowed local ‘lumber barons’ to build grand brick and wood mansions throughout the city. The Bangor Historical Society can show you a number of them on its city tours. The Bangor region offers something for everyone. To learn more about it, visit the Bangor Region Chamber of Commerce website.
